While it didn’t unveil its next flagship at MWC 2015, LG did announce, or rather pre-announce, some smartphones. Among them was a batch of new mid-range devices to fill in the gap, not just in time, but also between it’s high end and its low end offerings. Instead of the usual letter-based naming, however, LG opted to give these four, … —> Read More

Popular music streaming service Spotify has just launched its first-ever games console app – and it’s exclusive to Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 for the time being.

“PlayStation have gaming exclusivity,” Murray Pannell, UK marketing director for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, confirmed to Eurogamer at a preview of the app last week. And how long does the exclusivity period last? “That’s to be decided exactly,” he confessed, “but certainly for the foreseeable.”

At a time when media-streaming services such as Netflix are typically found on every connected console, the exclusivity deal is a minor coup for Sony. Spotify is a leader in digital music, with over 30m tracks available, 60 million active users and an impressive 15 million paying subscribers. The deal effectively calls time on Sony’s own ambitions in music streaming, with the Spotify app replacing the platform-holder’s Music Unlimited service. The partnership “still means we’re in music, but is also the foundation of our music strategy going forward,” Pannell said. “It’s going to be really good for us.”

While the Windows 10 upgrade path on the desktop is more or less clear cut, the same can’t be said of their mobile counterparts. Last February, Microsoft started handing out preview builds of the upcoming operating system but its coverage was worryingly limited, to at most 6 models. That’s not to say that Microsoft will only be supporting those and … —> Read More

Siliconera: “At first glance, I thought the open field that Episode Duscae takes place in was awesome. In some ways, I still think it is. That said, it has two major flaws that I really hope are addressed in the full game.” —> Read More

More than twenty years ago, Kid Icarus was released for the NES and went unnoticed by many, overshadowed by the much more popular Metroid series.

Alongside the release, the NES original was added to the eshop as a 3D Classic, a treatment that gave NES games more depth literally. —> Read More

Vice: The other night I saw a weird amorphous shape moving on the ground just in front of my apartment door. It was dark and I was returning home from a late-night caffeine run and couldn’t see very well over the reddish glare of a street lamp that cuts the shadowy façade of my building in two.

Now expecting an encounter with whatever the hell I was looking at, two thoughts ran through my head simultaneously: it was too big to be a cat, and it must be some mutated horror infected by the T-Virus. When it turned to face me, I met the beady gaze of a possum (next thought: hope it’s not rabid). Not exactly the Umbrella-engineered biohazard I’d assumed, but that’s what gorging on nothing but Resident Evil for weeks on end does to your brain. —> Read More
